Career skiers know how important leg training exercises
are to keep their legs, hips and knees in peak condition to not only
enjoy a full day's skiing but to avoid injury as well. Workout programs
which target the muscles and joints of the legs are essential to ensure
that a skier's legs survive a full day of rigourous exercise, jolts and
strain without feeling achy and worn by day's end.

Imagine this. You've saved all year for that incredible ski holiday in a
ski resort you've dreamed of for years. You wake up to a crisp blue
sky, sun shining on a windless day. There has been a good overnight fall
of snow and you and your mates are first to hit the lifts. The
morning's skiing goes well but by the time you stop for lunch you are
glad for the break - your legs are starting to 'feel it'. Refreshed and
rested you are ready for a full afternoon back on the ski runs. But an
hour later your legs just can't take any more. Your muscles burn and
your legs feel like jello! Your mind is willing but your legs have had
enough.

Introducing Avalanche Ski Training

Leg Training Exercises For Ski Fitness

It was after a punishing day’s skiing in amazing conditions that
Personal Trainer and Nutrition Specialist, Mike Geary and a group of
friends realised they would get far more enjoyment out of their skiing
if their legs didn’t feel so tired and heavy well before the end of the
day. Half way into the first day they began to experience deep leg
burning and severe fatigue which was slowing them down until eventually,
one by one, they gave the skiing away for the day.

That evening, as Mike and his friends sat around soaking their sore legs
in the hot tub, they tried to analyse what had failed them. Yes, they
were all in pretty good condition physically. It was just that their
legs lacked the physical preparation required to handle a full day of
very physical exercise. Mike’s friends challenged him to come up with a
program to ensure that their legs would last the day on their next trip
to the mountain. “Mike, you’re a professional fitness trainer… why
don’t you come up with some sort of program for skiers to develop rock
solid legs that can last all day long on the slopes without the deep
burn and jello legs?”

Developing The Avalanche Ski Training Program

“beyond
just the typical wall squats and leg extensions that everybody does
thinking that these alone are going to give them the leg endurance and
strength they need to tear up the slopes”.
According to Mike, his aim was to create a program which went

His aim was to develop the best programs which would achieve the leg
strength needed to support the body’s weight in the variety of positions
required to get the body down the mountain, as well as to build the
muscular endurance which would allow the legs to continue to perform all
day long.

Testing The Avalanche Ski Training Program

With the help of his friends who gladly tested out the program as it
was developed, Mike came up with a comprehensive plan to not only
strengthen and build the necessary endurance in the muscle groups of the
legs, but would also focus on the related joints as well. Mike knew
that it was pointless to have great leg muscle strength if the knees and
hips were unable to tolerate the stresses endured during a days skiing.

The feedback after three weeks of three to four sessions per week was
positive. The guys enjoyed the leg exercises which involved no use of
machines. It was time to get back on the skis and see if the regime
would produce results.

The first day back on skis was all the proof that was needed. Every one
of those who participated in the training agreed that by the end of that
day’s skiing their legs not only felt in great shape, they also felt
like they could keep on going.

skiing more aggressively now and don’t have to rest as long anymore.
Now I can ski the steeps, moguls, powder, and endless vertical without
leg pain. Thanks for a great program.”
